Hi there, I'm Adina!

I offer a compassionate, collaborative space where we can explore the patterns, experiences, and challenges that may be keeping you from living more fully and authentically. Drawing from both Western psychology and Eastern contemplative traditions, I support clients in cultivating greater awareness, connection, and meaningful change.

My focus

I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, identity exploration, life transitions, and creative or spiritual blocks. I have particular experience supporting LGBTQIA+, kink, polyamorous, and neurodivergent clients in developing greater self-understanding, resilience, and connection.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, insight-oriented, and affirming. Together, we explore thoughts, emotions, relational patterns, and lived experience with curiosity and compassion. I draw from relational, psychodynamic, mindfulness-based, and integrative approaches to support greater awareness, self-understanding, and meaningful change.
